Exploring Student Understanding of Energy through the Quantum Mechanics Conceptual Survey
S. B. McKagan, C. E. Wieman
We present a study of student understanding of energy in quantum mechanical tunneling and barrier penetration. This paper will focus on student responses to two questions that were…
Reforming a large lecture modern physics course for engineering majors using a PER-based design
S. B. McKagan, K. K. Perkins, C. E. Wieman
We have reformed a large lecture modern physics course for engineering majors by radically changing both the content and the learning techniques implemented in lecture and homework…
Observation of Heteronuclear Feshbach Molecules from a Rb - Rb gas
S. B. Papp, C. E. Wieman
We report on the observation of ultracold heteronuclear Feshbach molecules. Starting with a Rb BEC and a cold atomic gas of Rb, we utilize previously unobserved inter…
Formation of bright matter-wave solitons during the collapse of Bose-Einstein condensates
Simon L. Cornish, Sarah T. Thompson, Carl E. Wieman
We observe bright matter-wave solitons form during the collapse of 85Rb condensates in a three-dimensional magnetic trap. The collapse is induced by using a Feshbach resonance to s…
